Single country star Taylor Swift plays hard to get when it comes to dating because she knows guys like the chase.

Over the years, the Love Story hitmaker has enjoyed several high-profile relationships with singers such as John Mayer, Harry Styles and Joe Jonas, and she was recently accused of trying to pick up actor Bradley Cooper at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards.

According to reports, her advances were rebuffed, but now Swift has spoken out to deny the rumors, insisting she never uses a forward approach with men.

She tells Elle magazine, “I’m sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I’m chasing somebody who doesn’t like me as much as I like him – people love that angle on me. They’re like ‘Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys.’ I never chase boys. They don’t like it!”

And if things don’t work out, she never lets her emotions show: “I don’t think I’ve ever yelled at an ex-boyfriend. Ever. I’m not a yeller. I’m not a fit thrower. If something is done, it’s done.”

Instead, the 23 year old lets out her frustration by putting pen to paper.

Defending her penchant to write tunes about her famous exes, she says, “To me it’s just writing songs the way I always have. It’s me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn’t understand, writing a song, and understanding it better. If people want to dissect the lyrics, that’s their right, but it’s all coming from the exact same place as where I started. It’s just something I do to feel better.”

Singer Taylor Swift has shut down ongoing rumors about her love life, insisting she didn’t purchase a home next to her ex Conor Kennedy or buy Harry Styles Beatles memorabilia for Christmas.

The “Love Story” hitmaker was thought to have shelled out $4.5 million for an oceanside estate in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts last summer so she could be closer to the 18-year-old son of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

However, Swift jokes that’s simply not the case, telling Spanish TV show El Hormiguero, “People say that I’m buying houses all the time that I’m not buying. It’s like every time the press thinks I like a guy, they say I am buying a house next to them.”

The media struck again just before the holidays, with reports suggesting the country star was shopping for autographed Fab Four items for her then-boyfriend Styles of One Direction, but the tabloids were all mistaken.

Swift continues, “And also they think they know what I’m getting people for Christmas, which they don’t. I was thinking when I saw that one (rumor) that if they actually got it right I would be so sad because they would have blown my Christmas present, but they were all wrong.”

Actor Michael J. Fox has reached out to Taylor Swift after poking fun at her dating disasters in an online interview.

The “Back to the Future” star followed up Golden Globes hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey’s comedy warning for the singer to stay away from Fox’s son, who was an official usher at the prizegiving, by taking aim at the unlucky in love singer in a Vulture.com article.

He told the website he wouldn’t know who Swift was if his son Sam brought her home, and then joked, “Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right?” – referring to the singer’s penchant for writing heartbreak tunes about her exes.

Feeling awful about his comments, Fox has reached out to Swift to apologize and in a tweet on Friday, she wrote, “Hey everybody, Michael J. Fox got in touch with me today and we are good.”

Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” with One Direction star Harry Styles didn’t have a fairytale ending – the pair has called it quits, according to multiple reports.

The young couple first sparked rumors of a blossoming romance in November after Swift was spotted holding hands with the boy band star backstage at “The X Factor” in Hollywood.

A short time later the pair went public with the relationship, visiting New York City’s Central Park Zoo and enjoying a double date with pop stars Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez in Utah, before taking their love overseas to his native England, where Swift celebrated her 23rd birthday in December.

They shared a sweet kiss in Times Square as the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, and then jetted to the British Virgin Islands for a brief vacation – and that’s where it all went downhill, according to multiple reports. It’s suggested the singers had a heated argument last week, prompting Swift to cut short her trip and head home to Nashville, Tennessee, while Styles took off to visit Virgin boss Richard Branson on his private island Necker before heading back to London.

He now joins the dumped list that also includes John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s teenage son Conor Kennedy, who split from Swift just before reports of her romance with Styles first surfaced.

And it appears their grueling schedules were behind the break-up.

A source tells Life & Style, “They are both really busy and never in one place for long”, while an insider echoes the same sentiment to UsMagazine.com, adding, “They are 100 percent over.”

“Girls” star Lena Dunham has struck up a friendship with Taylor Swift over Twitter.com.

The actress-writer used the social networking site to express her love for the chart-topping singer, although she admits her followers criticized her for liking Swift’s pop music.

Dunham tells V magazine, “We have D.M.’ed (direct messaged). I’m a really big fan. She started following me, and here’s how you find out Taylor Swift is following you: you start hearing from all the insane Taylor Swift fans that are like, ‘If Taylor Swift loves you I love you.’

“So I sent her a message. I was like, ‘I just want to let you know that your albums have gotten me through a lot of very hard times.’ When I tweeted that her new album was amazing, every one of my Twitter followers was like, ‘I so hope that you’re joking.’ But I have no interest in liking anything ironically. If I wanted to be ironic, I’d grow a moustache.”

Taylor Swift’s romance with One Direction star Harry Styles appears to be heating up – the country singer has introduced the Brit to her mom.

The young couple sparked rumors of a blossoming romance last month after Swift was spotted holding hands with the boyband star backstage at the reality show “The X Factor” in Hollywood.

They have since gone public with their relationship, enjoying a trip to New York City’s Central Park Zoo and hanging out at Z100’s Jingle Ball concert before taking their love overseas to his native England, where she celebrated her 23rd birthday last week.

Reports suggest Swift was introduced to Styles’ mom during their visit to the U.K., and now Swift has followed suit by taking him back to Los Angeles to meet her mother Andrea on Wednesday.

Photographs show Swift holding her parent’s arm outside her mansion, while Styles can be seen standing close by and showing off his growing collection of tattoos in a T-shirt.

Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber have proved their politeness once again after they were named the world’s Best Mannered celebrities for the second year running.

The two singers were both honored for their etiquette by America’s National League of Junior Cotillions (NLJC) last year, and they are leading the pack once again in the organization’s 2012 nods.

NLJC national director Elizabeth Anne Winters says of Swift, “(She inspires) young people with her music and her manners… We think that she conducts herself with such graciousness with her fans. Keeping her dignity and poise as she created the Red album, and not really having anything that would sour her reputation.”

Bieber was honored for “consistently showing courtesy to his many fans,” and British actor Daniel Radcliffe was feted for being nice to his Potter devotees, while Matt Damon was hailed as “a positive role model in Hollywood to younger generations.”

British royal Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge was honored for “the poise and dignity with which she conducts herself in the public spotlight,” but her brother-in-law Prince Harry was named and shamed for his bad behavior.

Harry was named The Most Ill-Mannered Person of 2012 for “disregarding his prestigious title and misbehaving in the public spotlight.”

The dishonor is linked to Harry’s infamous trip to Las Vegas earlier this year, when photos of the prince playing billiards naked surfaced online.

Singer Taylor Swift has been caught on camera re-enacting the famous “Dirty Dancing” routine with her rumored boyfriend Harry Styles.

The couple showed off moves inspired by the finale in the 1987 film while partying at Z100’s Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden in New York on Friday.

The One Direction hunk gamely picked Swift up by the waist and hoisted her above his head, recreating the classic movie moment when Patrick Swayze lifted co-star Jennifer Grey into the air.

An onlooker posted a photo of the pair dancing on Twitter.com, writing, “Harry Styles gives Taylor Swift a ‘lift’ at the One Direction MSG After Party!”

A source tells Britain’s The Sun, “It was brilliant. The song came on and they just started dancing together. They didn’t know it from start to finish, but towards the end they had a little chat, then she took a run and jumped in to his arms. Everyone was laughing and egging them on.”
